I know the feeling. This one is really worth the effort. Not only is it spectacular, we did not see a single person the drive in nor the drive out.BorregoWrangler wrote:"Fire Point on the North Grand Canyon Rim."

Re: Not all camp sites are created equal.
Next year she wants to find a good spot that takes a couple days by 4x4 to get to and set up a base camp to launch a multi-day backpacking trip.Ollie (K6JYB) wrote:You're killing me... I wish I could get my wife out to do stuff like that.
And she is already excited for the following year's Alaska trip.
Yeah, she's a keeper.
My son is asking when we will stay in the "Green Hotel" (our tent is green) again.

Re: Not all camp sites are created equal.
It's rare that I can get my GF to go wheeling and you can forget camping altogether. Her idea of camping is room service.
